Natalia and I decided to take the opportunity to visit our great friends in Portland just
before Christmas this year. It was also a great chance to take in the Dehaan Ugly Sweater
Party as well.

Natalia made a beautiful Christmas sweater with garland and mushrooms for the Christmas Sweater party. Here she
is by the Dehaan's tree.

I was quite pleased with my snowman sweater, along with the blinking lights and the hat. I didn't realize that the party
also entailed pants so Paul lent me his ridiculous red pants to go with my blue sweater.

Allison also put together a gingerbread cookie decorating contest, which was outstanding. Check out the
wide variety of colors of icing as well as the amount of candy available to decorate with!
